Abstract
BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE LAW AND CASE LAW IN THE AREA OF OFFENDER EMPLOYMENT, THIS PAPER COVERS AN EMPLOYER'S LIABILITY FOR AN INJURY THAT HIS EMPLOYEE MAY DO TO ANOTHER; THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH AN EMPLOYER MAY HAVE A DUTY TO MAKE A PREEMPLOYMENT INVESTIGATION OF A PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEE'S BACKGROUND; AND HIS RIGHT TO EMPLOY, OR REFUSE TO EMPLOY, A PERSON WITH AN ARREST OR CONVICTION RECORD AS IT IS AFFECTED BY FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICE LAWS AND A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT.
